Most equity markets have shown a solid performance during the month of September. After the drone attacks on the Aramco oil refinery in Saudi Arabia oil prices have shown a brief spike up to a level of $ 70/barrel (Brent). Subsequently, tensions in the Middle East have eased. Although the price of Brent oil has fallen back to $ 61/barrel at the end of the month, energy stocks have shown a strong recovery. VLCC-rates (Very Large Crude Carriers) have rallied from an average of 33k/day in August to 71k/day by the end of September. The large tanker operators have led the advance within a strong shipping segment. The overall positive monthly performance has been lowered by hedge positions as well as individual short positions in the aviation segment.
